Home Tour: Delicious Darks Inside Location 78

Graham Atkins-Hughes is the talented photographer behind designer Abigail Ahern’s book A Girls Guide to Decorating, and for those who have read the book you will be able to appreciate his ability to capture the personality of a space perfectly through his lens. Graham and Jo have recently decorated their East London townhouse in a glorious array of inky hues, with added punchy burnt orange accents to anchor the velvety dark shades. It’s refreshing to see a home embracing dark colours across walls, floors and doors in the way the Atkins-Hughes have in their home. The mix of vintage vases, striking art works and the Racing Green armchair allows their living room to ooze class and sophistication, which continues in their bedroom with floor-to-ceiling teal cabinets. Quite simply: delicious. Whats more, if you are looking for a location to shoot in then stop looking because their home is available to hire for editorial and advertising shoots. Pop over to their website for all the details.

I love how they've used such dark (and delicious) colors in a way that does not make the space seem like it's going to swallow you whole. In fact, it's quite the opposite and very welcoming. How clever of them to cash in on it.

This deserves a new collective noun, I think – a triumph of chairs! Each one is lovelier than the last and I LOVE the black (have just been talking about black over on abcd design, in fact!) and the ORANGE.
